I also think that we may see a return of Conner after this. SP seemed to focus on him quite a bit in his ravings.

I really enjoyed Trinity this week as well. Enigma is turning out to not such an enigma after all. The CSA's Riddler, maybe? For weeks I brushed off his staff and focused on the half-burned face. Now I'm not so sure.

I have to say, Peyer/William's Flash is the most enjoyable I've read in a long time.

I don't know about a return of Conner, but they did seem to be tossing around the name "Superboy" without any apparent fear of legal reprisals. Did something change on that front? Or can they just not use it on covers, like the ol' Captain Marvel situation?

Jamie -- I keep thinking of Enigma as a mix of the Riddler, Two Face, and the Mad Hatter (he was using mind control things a few issues ago that reminded me of the Hatter). I wonder what other villains are mixed in there.

Re: Flash, I liked that they implied that the Black Flash was an aspect of the speed force itself, not a manifestation of death. I'm sad to see Peyer and Williams leave -- here's hoping Burnett, Diaz & co. knock Wally's send-off out of the park. I've posted a full review of Flash #243 if you're interested.

Other than the implication that Superman has never met Catwoman before (will we *ever* learn the in-continuity history of New Earth?), pretty much every panel of B&B made me happy this week. "I wonder if Metropolis needs a police commissioner?" Hee.

Paul Dini already had Zatanna do the "writing a spell in blood" thing about a year ago, in a much better story. I could really do without another Amazo story for, like, the next 50 years or so. They need to either not use the character for a long while, or write a really great, massive story arc where he takes over the world. There's no reason a character with that much power can be defeated in a handful of pages every 4 months.

dave - The text visible on the podium reads "hantom one", it says Phantom Zone Projector presumably. The sign leaning on it says "On Loan", with a Legion logo. Jimmy says that's who has the projector in the next panel. None of this ruins the actual joke, which is on the previous page (last panel). Thanks, Scipio, for prodding me to do the work on that one. I lol'd.
